Quay for Senator.
ONLY NINE VOTES AGAINST HIM IN CAUCUS.


The Republican Legislative caucus
at Harrisburg on Wednesday the 5th
nominate Matthew Stanley Quay for
United States Senator by a vote of
l54 to 8 for Galusha A. Grow. A
resolution was adopted constituting
c 'mmittee to frame bill regulating
freight charges on railways within the
State and report it to future caucus,
but Senators Watres, aobiD, Osborne
and Macfarlane opposed the resolution
until they were assured that the action
of the caucus would not bind them to
support the b Ii when it comes up in
legislative session. Opposition was
also developed to the second clause of
the proposed liquor prohibition con
stituIional amendment, which provides
compensation to property owners and
tenants whose business may suffer from
the adoption OF the amendment, and
again the ruling was made that the de-
cislon of the caucus could not control
the action of individuals, whereupon
the resolution was passed to appoint a
committee to take the business in
charge.
So well were the pins set up by the
machine under Quay's manipulation
that even Pig Iron" Kelly couldn't
command single vote against him.
There was feeble attempt at kicking
against the ring, but it was Intellectual.
Representative True, of Susque-
hanna, placed Galusha A. Grow in
nomination and left to Mr.. Owens, of
Huntingdon, the work of leading the
ineffectual opposition TO Quay. Mr..
Owens detailed with much earnestness
and at considerable length the qualif.
cations which he thought requisite for
the colleague of Mr.. Cameron in the
Senate and contended that these were
possessed in an eminent degree by a
gentleman whom he proposed to nom
inate. Without mentioning the name
of his candidate he went on to depre-
cate in an indirect way the tyranny of
caucus rule. He argued that his candi-
date was one who personifiei the ideal
which had been ''boosted" by the Phila.
delphia Press, but which that journal,
in its subserviency to party, had sub
sequently ignored. He finally men,
toned the name of William ID. Kelley,
of Philadelphia. If any gentleman
present wore brass collar, he said, he
appealed to them to sever it, and il
bound by silken leash to assert their
manhood and make personal fitness the
test for public office.
The vote was then taken and result
ed in l54 for Quay and for Grow.
Those voting for Grow were Senators
Lines and Meredith and Representa-
nves Dougherty, Elliot, Seamens,
johnson, Hughes, True and Maxey-9,
Those not voting were Senator Emery
and Representatives Owens, Davis and
Tohaney. During the roll,call Mr..
Owens voted for Mr.. Kelley, but sub.
sequently withdrew his vote, remark.
ing that single vote for that gentle.
man might be construed to his pre-
judice.
Mr.. True, who had presented the
name of Mr.. Grow, moved TO make the
nomination of Quay unanimous, viii oh
was agreed to without dissent.

Secretary Lamar Married.

Secretary Lamar was married at 10
o'clock on the 9TH at the residence of
the bride by Rev. William Park, of
Sandersville, to Mrs. William S. Holt,
of Macon, Georgia.
Mrs Lamar is daughter of the late
James Dean, of Macon, and in early
life was one of the beauties of the
South. She grew to wOmanhood among
the teudal-lil>c institutions which -four
ished in that section before the war,
and was conrted and loved by half the
sons of the neighboring planters. Sur
rounded by every luxury that wealth
could buy, she was not eager to yield
her heart TO any man. The two most
prominent, as well as most persistent,
suitors for her favor were Mr.. Lamar
aud the late Judge Holt, whose efforts
secured the favor of the parents and
gained the consent of the maid and the
two were finally united in marriage.
After mourning for several years, Mr..
Lamar also married, and, though both
were faithful to their marriage vows,
1t is said that each cherished the men,
ory of the other through life. The pale
student, with his intellectual face,
crowned by its masses of ark curling
hair, who had taught her in his wooing
the courses of the stars, held an inter-
est to Mrs. Holt that not even her
wealthy and devoted husband had, and
when he died and the wife OF the Sec
retary was also laid to rest, the two
turned to each other without reserve.
At the time of General Holt's death
he was the head of Georgia railway
company and one of the richest men in
that section. His vast wealth was be-
queathed to his widow who, in turn
has carefully guarded it and added to
it by shrewd investment Two children
OF her first marriage still survive and
it was their opposition to the second
union that is said to have occasioned
its postponement last summer. AL.
though over AZ years old Mrs. Lamar
has preserved her youthful beauty to
remarkable degree, and with her tact,
intelligence and grace will preside over
MIR. Lamars Washington home with
dignity and ease Like most of the
honest men at the capital the Secretary
is not wealthy, and the addition to his
fortune which his wife will bring will
enable him 10 entertain far more gen.
erousl y than he has ever done hereto
fore. Mrs, Lamar has passed several
winters at Washington and is cordially
liked by the many in official life.

DR.. Cant

suspect that all are familiar with
this venerable parsonage. He has met
all people, and everybody has received
the same generous advice from the DR..
"cant."
You may know that he is a learned
man and well deserves his title from
the fact that there never existed an in
stitution of learning from the mothers
A. b. G. school to the college or uni
versity, but what has been visited
by the above named DIR. He did spec
ial work at Oxford, Yale, Harvard,
Basil, Heidleburg, aud all other emf
nent places of learning. Lycurgus
strove and partially overcame him in a
personal encounter OF muscular strength
But the wise Solon with all his wisdom
found many things that were rendered
impossible. DIR. Can't held the keys
and stubbornly refused to give them up.
Thales personally attacked him and was
successful, bat the DIR. appealed to the
ignorant populace about the earth's
rotundity and thus banished the philos-
opher Sir Isaac Newton astcnished
him when he discovered the laws of
gravitation. Previously and afterwards
Newton's logical argument was not
enough for the learned friend. 1t took
kepler seventeen years to argue Cant
out of three things; so stoutly does he
hold on to what he advances. The DIR.
has had so much experience that few
there are who can argue with him.
Columbus had a hard time to show
that Can't did not know all things that
he professed. And when the DR. put
it in the minds of the wise men of
Spain to say, "We can't make the egg
stand on the end" Columbus simply
raised it high enough that when the
egg struck it broke the shell, then it
would stand. But not every man
would have taken such an ingenious
way to overcome difficulty. 1t cost
America seven years war and blood
shed to convince England that we were
sustaining a possibility. In the civil
war it cost a million lives TO decide
State Rights and prove that the South
ern people could not have slaves.

Murdered for Money.
THE HORRIBLE CONFESSION OF IL
YrAR-oID LAD AT LEXINGTON, MASS.


James Edward Nowlin, who was ar
rested in connection with the murder
of George A. Goldman, last week at
Lexington, Mass, has made full con-
f,ssion. He sgid be was the only one
concerned in the murder, and the other
prisoners have been discharged.
Nowlin states that he was entirely
alone and did the deed unaldcd. lie
had been thinking of it for some days,
melted thereto by Codman's boastful
way OF showing money, and expected
to secure about $500, with which he
intended to leave that part of the
country. He killed Goldman in the
stable at about 2 o'clock in the morning
by coming behind him and stabbing
him in the side of the neck with
butchers knife He severed an artery
and Goldman fell to the floor. diving al
most instantly. He then put the body
under a sleigh, covered it up and went
on his milk route, taking bis brother
with him. He returned about III
o'clock, put up his team and went to
dinner. After dinner he went to the
stable, cleaned up the traces OF the
crime as well as he could and then oe-
liberated as to the disposition OF the
body. He finally decided to take 1t
away in the sleigh and secrete it some
where until he could safely get rid of it.
He considered the weight Oh tne
body, and to make it easier to handle
and to hide the traces OF his gnastiy
work he concluded to dismem6er 1t,
This he did with an axe. before

parel and from there he carried OH 'ne
the desk containing about $40 IN
money and other articles OF value. lie
returned to the team and drove on
toward Lexington.
After driving awhile he began to
realize the enormity of his crime and
became more and more frightened as

Mercantile Appraisers Duties.

Auditor General Niles has issued
the following instructions to county
commissioners
BY the 18th section of the act OF
lS46. it is made the duty of the Com
missioners of each county to appoint
the appraiser of mercantile taxes on or
before the 30th OF December, in each
year, for the ensuing year.
Before he enters upon the discharge
of his duties, you will please instruct
The mercantile appraiser, as follows:
l. The appraiser shall personally
visit the store, distillery, brewery, or
other places of business of all persons
engaged in the selling or vending of
goods, wares, merchandise, commodi-
ties, or Other effects of whatsoever
kind or nature, Gncluding liquors,) all
stock brokers, bill brokers, exchange
brokers, merchandise brokers, real es-
tate brokers all auclioners, all manu-
iacturers, vendors, agents, or other per-
sons engaged il the sale of any nos
trums, medical compounds, or patent
medicines, whether pills, powders, mix
lures, or in any form whatsoever.
III. The appraiser shall then rate
and assess all dealers and vendors as
above enumerated, in accordance with
existing laws, and shall give to each
person whom he shall assess, or to
some person living on the premises
where the business rated is carried on,
written or printed notice, specifying
the classification and the amount of
license TO be paid by the person assess-
ed, aud also of the time and place when
aud where, he the appraiser, will hold
an a peal.
Ill. The appraiser shall furnish to
the county treasurer certified list of
the dealers aforesaid, with the classifi-
cation, as made out by him, or deter
mined by the judges of the court, on
appeal.
". No bills for mileage of ap-
praisers will be paid unless this De-
partment is satisfied that the officer
has personally visited, in ore coutinu.
ous trip, every place Of business assess
ed nor will any bill for mileage be
settled before the month Of October,
and until the county treasurer has liled
in this office certified copy of the ap-
praiser's list, and the required state
ment of licenses which have proved
uncollectible.
V. In accordance with recent de-
cisions of the Supreme Court, dealers
IN live stock are exempt from payment
of mercantile tax, aud they must not
be assessed. By the decision of the
same court, it has been determined that
butchers who sell meat of animals they
have slaughtered are not liable TO the
payment of mercantile tax, consequent.
| y they must not be assessed. Those
butchers, however, who purchase cattle
killed and dressed, and sell the meat,
are properly liable to payment of mer.
camille tax and should be assessed
Care should be taken by the apprais.
ers to assess only those butchers who
purchase the slaughtered cattle. Since
the recent decision of the Supreme
Court in the case of John Z. Joos vs..
Alexander f. McCandless, Treasurer
OF Allegheny county, the publication
of the mercantile appraisers list will
be dispensed with, until the Legislature
makes further provision for such pub.
lication.

As soon my deeds were backward urled
My deeds were like the sewers seeds
Who SOW them broad cast as they go.
For some Will fall among the weeds
And some among some other foe.
And vet there must be holy ground
To SOW the true and good within
There must a lonely heart be found
